Laxitive overdose
 
I wont say how many laxitives I've taken, but its high above the recomended amout of 1-2 tablets.
I take them everyday.
I have no food left in me so all thats coming out is water. I feel dizzy, sick & like im about to throw up. I've eaten a cracker & its just making me feel even more sick.
What should I do? :dunno:
